A source told
Daily Mail that 10,000 copies of Sarah Ferguson's book
Flora and Fern: Kindness Along The Way are "being sent to the recycling center."
"It's not been delayed, it's being pulped," the source said. "It's an acknowledgement of the inevitable. No one is going to want to buy it."

Sarah Ferguson's credibility took a hit after it was revealed she called Jeffrey Epstein a "supreme friend" in an email. Following the scandal, several charities and businesses cut ties with the ex-duchess.
"It's a mess. The book is unsalvageable," the source said, adding that the bookseller confirmed the project has been "pulled from sale days before publication."

Aside from taking a step back from public life, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson were kicked out of Royal Lodge due to the former duke's ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
"She is leaning on trusted staff members," British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital.

"Her nerves are frayed. She is shaken to the core by the loss of her royal safety net," Helena Chard continued. "She fears further humiliation and worries that the serious allegations will affect her girls' standing. The couple's daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, have distanced themselves from their parents' scandals."
